Hi smd and son,
I'm very sorry that it took me so long to respond to your post. I hope things are not too bad for you and your son. I know exactly where you are and unfortunately I do not know of any doctors in this area. I have a good relationship with my doctor back home so thankfully I have not needed to look for one up here. Have you tried IU med school in Indy? I am sure the hospital there would have some wonderful doctors. If you need me to I can get a direct number for you to call.
You said your son responds well to psuedoephedrine. That would seem to indicate some kind of noradrenergic dysfunction. It is interesting to me because I get the same response from it and it's parent compound ephedrine. Is he on any mood stabilizers right now? What about antidepressants? I've taken Depakote and Tegretol and both made me apathetic and depressed. However small doses of Dilantin did wonders for me. Alas though it seemed to have pooped out on me. That is one of the reasons I made the switch to Selegiline. I had taken it in the past as monotherapy and recieved some very good benefits from it. I currently take it with 25mgs. of amisulpride and 2grams of Tyrosine. It has helped me so much more now. Amisulpride is a French antipsychotic that can only be acquired through mail order. If you are interested I would suggest e-mailing Andrewb. He was put together a very impressive info sheet on it. Selegiline is great drug for low energy, apathy, and vitality. When I take it with amisulpride the anxiety I experienced previously on it is gone. That was the big reason I discontinued it the first time. I only take 5mgs. of selegiline and this dose seems to do just fine for me. Any higher and I start to get a speedy, jittery feeling typical of overstimulation.
I hope you get to read this, I did not forget about you :). Good luck and please let me know if you still have some unanswered questions that I could help with.
